How does a 19th century election get the distinction of being the defining election of the next century?

Regardless of whether you believe a century begins at "1900" or "1901", the results of 1900 decided who would be sworn in on the 4th day of March in 1901, essentially deciding politics for the next century or so, until the 2000 election came along.

My real answer would be 1789, as each election led to the next.
